The works in this guide are those of particular interest and value to students of history at The University of Memphis. The listings are selective, not exhaustive. All categories could have been vastly expanded, and there could have been more categories, but those presented are the ones I regard as most likely to be used by students who are beginning the study of history as a general field or of any of its subdivisions as commonly offered by our Department of History.
The personal names given with titles are usually those of editors or compilers. The dates in brackets after certain works (usually ongoing series) indicate the years of coverage afforded by the works. In some cases, the holdings of the libraries of The University of Memphis do not include all the years of coverage of the works.
Although I have listed some items in more than one category when I thought it desirable to call particular attention to them, I have generally tried to avoid duplication. Students should remember to search all relevant categories.
Call numbers or other location guides are listed for each work. Some works may be found in several different places in the libraries of The University of Memphis. I have usually chosen to list the Reference Department's copies in such cases, because they cannot be checked out and should always be available to researchers.
If you cannot find a work, consult the catalogs or the librarians to ascertain what the problem is. Materials are sometimes recatalogued, relocated, misshelved, or lost; new editions appear with different titles or editors; and compilers and typists may make errors in preparing guides. If you find new numbers, etc., please give me the correct information so that subsequent editions of this guide may be more nearly correct.
Some editions of this guide attempted to include notations about certain materials being available in electronic form. Developments are so rapid that these notations have become impossible to maintain with any reasonable degree of currency or accuracy. You should be aware that many items in this guide are available either online or on CD-ROM. For a current, accurate list of them on the World Wide Web pages of The University of Memphis Libraries, go to the URL <http://exlibris.memphis.edu/> and follow the links for databases and electronic journals. The titles of the electronic materials are not always identical to the titles in this guide, but they should be similar enough to allow you to make the correct association.

Note on Section A: Finding Aids
The installation of the Learning Commons in McWherter Library, which began in late Summer 2006, has caused considerable change in the physical arrangement of the Reference Room since the 2005 edition of this guide was prepared. Many reference materials have already been relocated and many others are subject to relocation. Some printed resources are being replaced by electronic resources. Every effort has been made to keep up with the changes, but the situation is in constant flux. This section therefore can only be regarded as preliminary. Parts of it may already be inaccurate and other parts may become inaccurate in the near future. While the confusion is regrettable, there simply was no way to accommodate the Learning Commons without giving up some of the space in the Reference Room.
The staff of the Reference Department is attempting to maintain complete records of relocated materials (the compiler thanks the staff for making these records available for the revision of this section), and you should feel free to ask for assistance in finding any works that you cannot find on your own.

The Mississippi Valley Collection has prepared guides to many of its individual holdings. Inquire at the Collection desk.
The main purpose of the Mississippi Valley Collection is to preserve the records of the people, conditions, and life of the lower Mississippi Valley (south of St. Louis to New Orleans). In addition to history, the Collection is concerned with geography, religion, literature, politics, economics, society, culture, entertainment, geology, and agriculture, through a variety of documents: letters, diaries, journals, books, ephemera, manuscripts, maps, tapes, and films.
Holdings date from as early as the seventeenth century, but most are in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They are particularly strong in certain areas such as popular entertainment, the 1968 sanitation strike in Memphis, the Mid-South printing industry, Memphis area churches, the West Tennessee Historical Society, and the development of The University of Memphis (formerly Memphis State University). The Collection holds archival copies of all the tapes and transcriptions of the Department of History's Oral History Project. It has copies of all theses and dissertations written at The University of Memphis and many archival records of the University. Other special collections include rare books, and materials on the circus, the theatre, and public management science.
The Collection has its own card catalog, including separate indexes for oral history and sheet music, and most printed items are also listed in the main library catalog.
